EVENT DESCRIPTION

Pegboy

with Loss Leader + DJ Dan Lansing Spinning Vinyl  

Pegboy is a punk band from Chicago, founded 1990 by John Haggerty (who played guitar with Naked Raygun), along with his brother Joe Haggerty (drums), Larry Damore (vocals/guitar), and Steve Saylors (bass). Both Damore and Saylors had been members of Chicago-based hardcore band Bhopal Stiffs, whose 1987 demo had been produced by John Haggerty. Pegboy’s 1990 debut EP, Three-Chord Monte, was also the first release by Quarterstick Records, an off shoot of Touch and Go Records. Steve Saylors dropped out in 1992 after job commitments prevented him from touring. Steve Albini, a longtime friend of the band, filled the bass slot on the Fore EP. Former Naked Raygun bassist Pierre Kezdy became the permanent bass player in 1994. After the reformation of Naked Raygun, Mike Thompson took over for Kezdy on bass. The band released three full lengths of genre defining melodic post-hardcore before mostly disbanding in 2000. Notably, the EP Fore featuring Steve Albini on bass.

This Hook and Ladder Show is a rare Twin Cities appearance not to be missed! With locals Loss Leader and Punk Rock DJ Dan.
